Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.

Warming up the bedroom...

Get your minds out of the gutter! Although, we all should!(Whatever comes to mind.) But... this warm up is with fleecy throws, 50" X 70", in a dark teal, both very reasonable from Target online, in actuality cheaper than the similar fabric would have been if purchased from Jo-Anne's that I had made my other four out of, at the time very cost effective, but they were, well, made is a bit too much, I had them cut the other ones to size. The new fleecy teal ones, one was placed over our micro suede off white DIY headboard and the other one was placed at the foot end for use when/if needed, as the picture shows succinctly here!

Golden bling is added to the small previously all white picture frame on the dresser below, texture in the gold created by an up/down motion tapping with the brush and wooden tray was straight brushing over the previous white colored edges, inside the tray is a purple grape motif painted when before purchased at a thrift shop years ago, most all of the frames hanging had been made golden years ago over their original golden oak, to blend with the décor.

The puff funny face sculptured basket holds make-up and hair items, the desk like wooden letter holder/file matching colored piece also has odds and ends held within it, and I have not decided what color to paint them or if at all. Gold is a possibility... , but of course!

Golden seashells for sponge stamped motif on the white wooden framed window trim,(The blinds are faux white wood from JC Penney's, purchased years ago for both bedrooms, also done years ago, 2004.) to coordinate with the comforter and pillow shams, easily painted over if so desired or we get sick of the design.
Two off white throw pillows designs were painted by making stencils online from clip art and card stock. Originally on the white sleep sofa in the sunroom.
Ideas are for pure fun from many other sites or originating from my own concepts.

More ideas for craft ideas that are fun and keep me out of trouble most days.

Moving on...

Did not go to independent exercise today and won't be for an extended period due to shoulder pain and numbness getting worse.

Who knows when I will be feeling well enough to start once more...oh well, I have been losing weight as long as we don't eat out. Even though I ate little it was not conducive to weight loss.
Busy with doctor's appointments anyway three in this week alone!

That's all for tonight, so allow me to wish you all a very happy good night, and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages and we will too!

“An endorphin is a natural pain reliever produced by the body in response to a number of factors. It binds to the parts of the nervous system that bind to morphine, relieving pain and frequently producing a natural high. In contrast to the effects of narcotics, endorphin activity is not addictive. A runner’s high is one response that is thought to be due to the effects of endorphins.
There are a number of endorphins produced by humans. They are neurotransmitters, meaning they transmit signals throughout the nervous system and are found in the brain — specifically in the pituitary gland. A receptor is a molecule that transmits signals, and an endorphin binds to a receptor that morphine and other opiates gravitate to. It is known as an opiate receptor.”
“Adrenaline is a hormone produced by the adrenal gland in the body of many animals. When it is produced in the body it stimulates the heart-rate, dilates blood vessels and air passages, and has a number of more minor effects. Adrenaline …

First one was my fairly new neuro, Dr. Lilliana Montoya, her nurse who called me back almost as soon as I left the message with me asking a few questions.
Like the fact that I had lowered my dosage on two medications for my spasms over weeks/months really, Baclofen down to 40 mg. a day unless I need more, which I have and I can take the additional amounts safely, and Gabapentin that I also lowered all the way down to 200 mg. a day. And now with this warmer weather and us going out more often it appears that I am being affected with it, since it has been causing more spasms. I have not been wearing my cooling vest either, since it is so bulky and this one has so many ice packs, too many in my opinion!
I do believe that is probably why, but not absolutly sure.
And apparently they have not received any of my blood work from the GP as of yet.
Angie, her nurse also thought I might want to move up my office visit to this month from my six month one in June, and she said she would ask the d…
